WPS needed for setup

Setting up Xumo Stream Box from Spectrum and directions state to connect to WiFi using WPS on my router.

How do I do this with AirPort Time Capsule?

WPS is not supported by AirPort Time Capsule. WPS is a relatively new protocol (compared to Time Capsules). Sumo or Spectrum should have instructions on how to connect to wi-fi routers that don't support WPS.

"WPS is not supported by AirPort Time Capsule."


Yes it is, and has been for a long time....since the 6.3.x versions of AirPort Utility were introduced. The AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme also support WPS.


Take a look at the screenshot below of AirPort Utility and my Time Capsule. The menu item under Base Station states Add WPS Printer, but I have no trouble adding other WPS devices if I want to use that type of setup.


I've helped countless number of users who posted on the old AirPort support boards with the WPS setup.
